THURSDAY, JULY 16

At the Challengers signing Thursday July 16th, pre-paid attendees to the Portage Theater exhibition may have FIVE outside items signed, as well as an unlimited number of purchased products. (This means that if you’re enough of a Dave McKean fan to come and see his paintings, you can get five things signed!)

6-7pm: CBLDF charity event. “Dave McKean kicks off his Chicago exhibition weekend with a CBLDF benefit! A Salute to International Multi-Media Visionary and Graphic Novel Innovator Dave McKean- hosted by Century Guild. July 19th, 6-7 pm.” Visit cbldf.org for details and ticket information.

7-9pm: Artist’s Reception. Six of Dave McKean’s massive Nitrate paintings will be on display, cash bar, the artist will be present.

Please note that Dave will only be signing books bought at the event during this time. A number of his hard-to-find art books (prices start at $15) including out of print material will be available, as well as Nitrate and Kinogeists program and event posters.

6-7pm: Dave McKean book signing. Please limit to five outside items per person, and there is no signing limit on additional items bought at theater. A number of his hard-to-find art books (prices start at $15) including out of print material will be available, as well as Nitrate and Kinogeists program and event posters. Everyone in line by 6pm will be accommodated.

7-9pm: Dave McKean’s short films screened in theater. A rare opportunity to see Dave’s short films, plus special surprises- including something for fans of The Batman…

I’d love some large-format Dave McKean prints that I could frame myself. All the big art print & poster sites don’t carry McKean’s work. I don’t need it signed, but I would like reasonable prices. I was thinking up to $150 for a large format print. Is anything like that possible?
